In this article we look at a pressure sensor – this time its the LPS25H The LPS25H is an ultra-compact absolute piezoresistive pressure sensor. It includes a monolithic sensing element and an IC interface able to take the information from…
Another expensive visit to Aliexpress made me find this sensor listed by one of the vendors – it is a BMP388 by Bosch Sensortec, so lets crack on and try this out with an Arduino Uno again On with the…
In this article we look at yet another humidity and temperature sensor from TI – this time its the HDC2080 which we will connect up to an Arduino Uno Lets look at some of the technical information and data from…
In this article we look at an FSR from Open Smart – here is the information I have found on this module FSRs are basically a resistor that changes its resistive value (in ohms Ω) depending on how much it…
In this example we look at a MICS 5524 gas module The MiCS-5524 is a robust MEMS sensor for indoor carbon monoxide and natural gas leakage detection; suitable also for indoor air quality monitoring; breath checker and early fire detection. Detectable…
